I am transitioning from grad school, where life was very intense and focused on projects that were part of the large and wonderful enterprise of scientific advancement, to the professional world where I am paid more, work fewer hours and have much more stability.
This leaves me in a pretty good position, but I don’t have that big blazing “THIS IS MY LIFE MISSION” thing going on any more.
I have realized that now is the perfect time to focus on more general improvement—focusing on exercise, relationships, hobbies—rather than trying to find another BIG LIFE MISSION to make my new life more similar to the old one. That can come, but it can come later.
